This one comes to us from Finland. Unicef wanted to raise awareness for childrens rights so they placed these blue strollers in crowded places in 14 cities with a baby crying audio track coming out of it. If you looked in the strollers their was a message “Thank you for caring, we hope there is more people like you. Unicef Be a mom for a moment”.
The part that makes me sad is the number of people that just walked right past a stroller with a crying baby and did not even give a glance in it’s direction. That part could have hit me harder because I am a new parent of a 5 month old but still…… no excuses in my mind!
Have a great weekend.

Unfortunately this is, as Douglas Adams might have said, and SEP issue. Someone Else’s Problem… People, and I include my self in this, all too often think that someone else will take care of the problem and choose not to do anything themselves.
I have changed many of my attitudes about things like this as I have grown older, but still, there have been too many times in my past were I have passed an opportunity to help with a problem because I think someone else will take care of it.

Either that or they just made a load of paedophillic predators feel good about themselves…

very good experiment.
I wonder how many people, myself included, will read this page and yet continue to walk past homeless people and make quick excuses to themselves as to why they cannot spare a little bit of money and/or buy them some food or drink.
